It's no wonder that the general soldiers were surprised, after all, the Son of Heaven went out on patrol This kind of thing is too rare in the Ming Dynasty. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

Take the first emperor Hongzhi Emperor as an example, his old man has lived in nine deep places all his life, and he has never even been out of the capital division.

But when today's son has just ascended the throne and is going to tour the north, it is really surprising.

The north is no better than the south of the Yangtze River, there is no song and dance of warblers, there is no intoxicating air, there is only a strong wind like a knife and a murderous Tatar.

"The ...... of the Ministry of Heaven"

Yu Zongbing's face was very ugly, and he held back a sentence for a long time.

"Needless to say. The matter has already been decided, and it is useless to say more. Chief Yu, don't just tell people about His Majesty's northern tour. ”

Yang Tinghe's voice was full of unquestionable majesty, and he was so frightened that General Yu hurriedly said, "The last general will obey the order." ”

"Okay, you go down, the Xuanfu generation must be strictly vigilant, and you must not go on a business trip."

"Yes!"

Yu Yun bowed and respectfully retreated.

......

......

The Son of Heaven's northern tour is definitely a big event that shocked the government and the opposition.

The courtiers came up with all kinds of methods, and they jointly wrote a letter and cried to no avail.

Even the old emperor of the small pavilion couldn't make the Son of Heaven change his mind. In the end, the officials had to accept this reality.

When the Son of Heaven goes on patrol, everything must be prepared in advance.

From the army guards to the small ones along the way, they all have to be properly arranged.

In order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, Xiao Ge Lao also ordered someone to step on the point in advance and check and fill in the gaps.

On December 20, the holy car finally left the Forbidden City.

Surrounded by Jinyiwei, Luan drove slowly along the central axis street.

Hundreds of people fell to their knees, weeping bitterly.

They couldn't imagine that they would have a chance to see the sky in their lives, and they desperately leaned forward.

Of course, Emperor Zhu Houzhao of Zhengde sat in Luan's car, and he would not be seen by the people at all.

However, he was very curious, was he really so sacred in the eyes of the people?

The Son of Heaven unexpectedly lifted the curtain and waved at the people kneeling down on the side of the street.

This frightened the brocade guards who were guarding the side.

They looked around nervously, and they only felt bored when they saw those Diao people.

Isn't there anyone hiding in it and trying to assassinate them?

The long street walked very slowly, and finally out of the city, the brocade guards could breathe a sigh of relief.

In the middle of Luan's driving, Zhu Houzhao excitedly said to Xie Shen, who was waiting on the side: "Sir, I didn't expect the people to admire me so much. ”

Xie Shen, that waterfall Khan, how should this be answered?

"Your Majesty is destined by heaven, and it is reasonable for the people to want to see the face of heaven."

"Hmm." Zhu Houzhao nodded with satisfaction, waved his hand and said, "It seems that I will go out more patrols in the future to give the people a chance to see me." ”

“......”

It's hard to take that.

Xie Shen said in his heart, you should go out to play, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military don't think so.

Just the reception of the prefectures and counties along the way had to consume a lot of treasury silver, not to mention the impact caused by the use of Jinyiwei.

Although the implementation of the new policy can improve the financial situation of the imperial court, it is not possible to achieve immediate results. With the current financial resources of the Ming Dynasty, it is a bit stretched to maintain the military expenses of the Nine Sides, and if the Son of Heaven goes on another patrol from time to time, it will really be a personal life.

But Zhu Houzhao will not care about these, in his opinion, since the Son of Heaven is rich all over the world, he should patrol around.

As for the money, the Ministry of Household Allocation is naturally allocated. If the household department can't come up with the money, it is the household department's problem, and he will hold the household department accountable.

This "unreasonable" way also reflects Zhu Houzhao's consistent style of acting, and Xie Shen has long been accustomed to it.

However, habits are habits, and Xie Shen still has to discourage them.

"Your Majesty, it's not appropriate to go on patrol too much."

"Why?"

Zhu Houzhao was slightly displeased.

"Does the gentleman also think that this is a waste of money and labor?"

"I don't dare." Xie Shen secretly complained in his heart, and calmed down slightly: "What the minister means is that since Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, not everyone can see the face of heaven. ”

Xie Shen was forced to have no choice but to engage in psychology.

Who knew that this trick was still very effective, and Emperor Zhengde nodded very usefully and said, "Well, I understand what Mr. means." ”

Zhu Houzhao received imperial education since he was a child, and the most heard words were that the Son of Heaven was ordered by heaven.

Regardless of whether others believe it or not, Zhu Houzhao believes it anyway.

"Your Majesty's Xuanfu is not far from Jingshi, and it should be there soon."

The Jingshi was three hundred and fifty miles away from Xuanhua, the garrison of Xuanfu, and if you marched in a hurry, you could reach it in three days. However, considering the slow movement of Tianzi Luan, it is estimated that it will take five days to reach Xuanhua.

"Well, I always say that Xuanfu Xuanfu is Xuanfu, but I have never been to Xuanfu. This time, I want to take a good look at how majestic the Xuanfu is! ”

After speaking, Zhu Houzhao squinted his eyes and leaned on the soft couch, enjoying a rare comfortable time.

It was cold and snowy outside, but it was warm inside.

The crackling sound in the brazier was so pleasant that Emperor Zhengde fell asleep unconsciously.

Xie Shen could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

The companion is so tired that not only can he not rest, but he also has to accompany the emperor to talk, and every sentence has to be carefully thought out and cannot be out of line.

Who said that the Son of Heaven is easy to be a close minister, it seems that this is the most difficult errand at the moment.

Xie Shen is now worried about the safety of Xuanda's front line.

The Tatars often plundered between Xuanda.

Although Xuanfu and Datong themselves are impregnable, there are many collapsed Great Walls along the line.

The Ming court treasury was too empty to allocate funds to repair all the collapsed sections of the Great Wall, which led the Tatars to make frequent detours through these gaps.

This caused the people along the way, and often the Tatars did not leave the chickens and dogs robbed from the village as soon as they came.

However, the Tatars were helpless in the face of the towering walls of Xuanfu.

It was like a floodgate blocking the western part of Beijing, completely sealing the hope of the Tatars to advance eastward.

But Xie Shen feared that there would be scattered Tatars looting between the Xuanfu and thus disturbing the Holy Driver.

He had already written a letter to Yang Tinghe, telling Governor Yang to prepare early.

If something went wrong during the Son of Heaven's northern tour, it didn't matter whether Yang Tinghe or Xie Shen couldn't afford to take this responsibility.

Xie Shen lifted the yellow curtain and looked at the bare trees outside the window, and couldn't help but feel bitter in his heart.

The people are bitter, and the people are even more bitter.

It is really not easy to let the people live in peace and stability.

Before you know it, it's getting dark.

A brocade-clothed guard came to report: "The old Xiaoge has arrived at the post station in front, why don't you rest for one night first?" ”

Xie Shen glanced at the sleeping emperor in the carriage, nodded and said, "Okay, you go and arrange it." ”

It is unrealistic to ask the Son of Heaven to travel overnight. Anyway, it's not a rush march, just rush to Xuanfu in five or six days.
